Cutters install easily to the front of the printer using the hex key tool to remove the front lower gray cover and then screw the accessory onto the printer. Specialty materials vary in thickness and construction — always test your material to compare cut performance to your requirements.

Other Accessories


149132 Roll Adapter 100 Use with label rolls with 4” (100mm) core diameter and/or rolls with outside diameters over 7” (180mm).

Perf-cut or complete cut-through of continuous materials such as pressed tubes for manual separation later. Test for suitability to your application.

Peel and Present Sensors and Accessories

The BradyPrinter i7100 peel model printer ships with a peel plate installed instead of a tear bar plate, which allows for partial-peel off of the label upon print. A manual button press advances to the next label and internally rewinds the empty liner. Installation of the Present Sensor adds additional capability of auto-advancing without button press to the next label after the peeled label is removed. To internally rewind printed labels, the optional user-installed Rewind Guide Plate can be installed onto the standard peel model printer in place of the peel plate. See printer specifications for roll size limitations for unprinted and rewound rolls. The I/O interface accessory (#149077) also ships installed on the peel model printer.


149075 Present Sensor PS900

When used with the standard peel plate installed, this movable sensor is ideal for small labels and special-shaped labels. The sensor detects when the peeled label is removed and automatically prints and advances to peel next label without manual button push. Installs using hex key tool. For use on peel model printer with center-aligned media only.

149135 Extended Peel-off Plate

For peel of labels with strong adhesive or very thick liner that make removal more difficult. When used, labels can be advanced only by way of print on-demand button on printer control panel (not for use with present sensor). Installs in place of standard peel plate which ships installed in peel model printer.

149074 Rewind Guide Plate

This plate guides printed labels at a safe angle back into printer for internal rewind without peeling. Installs in place of standard peel plate which ships installed on peel model printer.

149207 Tear Bar PlateCan be installed onto a peel model printer in place of the standard peel plate, if the peel printer needs to be used for basic printing (not for peeling or internal rewinding). Also available as a spare tear bar plate for use on standard non-peel model printer.

Printer Specifications

* On Peel models only.** User should test to the application. Small label print performance is affected by multiple

factors including print speed, quantity of print run, burn setting and the size/layout of the printed elements.

*** To avoid damage to printhead, always be sure ribbon width at least covers the total media with, and, use a roller width such that the roller is wider than the total media with but narrower than the ribbons width. The end result is that no exposed print head rubs against exposed roller.
